Barry Lawrence Ruderman Conference on Cartography

Geographic features and toponyms may be highlighted, but arranging information spatially has been useful for centuries. The fourth biennial Ruderman Conference on Cartography will focus on maps and data visualization, examining their complexity and importance. Held at the David Rumsey Map Center at Stanford University, the conference will feature speakers from different backgrounds discussing historical, design, and digital applications of data visualization. Attendees will explore various map examples and discuss the potential and limitations of the medium in the past, present, and future.
